BACKGROUND: Every day, an average of 22 veterans take their own lives due to the lasting impact of having served in combat. Among those recipients paired with a Guardian Angels medical service dog, none have succumbed to suicide. Guardian Angels Medical Service Dogs is a 501(c)3 organization, dedicated to helping recipients mitigate the challenges of a number of permanent disabilities including mobility issues, seizure and diabetic disorders, traumatic brain injury, post-traumatic stress (PTS), military sexual trauma (MST) and more. The funds raised through this event will help Guardian Angels pair more veterans with service dogs nationwide.
